Strike continues on Tuesday

The strike by tenured and tenure-track faculty continues today, Tuesday. Picketing resumes this morning. Bargaining also resumes this morning.

At 5:17 pm on Monday November 7, the SIUC administration’s bargaining team presented the Faculty Association’s negotiating team with a revised proposal on all remaining items at dispute. The administration’s team then informed the FA team that they were departing for the evening and wished to resume negotiations Tuesday morning. The premature departure of the administration team ensures that the strike by faculty on the SIUC campus will continue at least one more day.

A statement concerning the status of bargaining appears in the previous post.
